VALL-E is an AI model developed by Microsoft (United States), first published in January 2023. It works in the audio and speech domain, on tasks such as speech synthesis and text-to-speech (tts).
Training it took an estimated 10¹⁹ FLOP of compute (estimation method: operation counting). The model has 353,000,000 parameters. It was trained on roughly 76.8B datapoints. Training ran on NVIDIA V100. The compute alone is estimated at $11 in 2023 dollars.
Access: Unreleased. Its weights are not openly released. The reference paper has 1,180 citations. Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as speculative.
